Frequently Asked Questions

Stevia

  1. What is stevia? Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It's significantly sweeter than sugar but contains zero calories and doesn't raise blood sugar levels, making it a popular choice for people with diabetes, those following low-carb or keto diets, and anyone seeking a healthier alternative to sugar.
  2. Is stevia safe? Yes, stevia is recognized as safe by regulatory authorities worldwide, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada. It has been used for centuries in South America and has a long history of safe consumption.
  3. Can I substitute Crave Stevia products in recipes that call for sugar? Yes, you can often substitute Crave Stevia products for sugar in recipes, but you may need to adjust the amount depending on the sweetness level of the product and the recipe itself.
  4. Why is my stevia brown? Is it still good? The natural color of stevia extract can range from light yellow to amber or even dark brown. This variation is perfectly normal and depends on factors such as the stevia plant variety, growing conditions, and extraction process. Rest assured, the brown colour does not affect the taste, sweetness, or quality of our stevia products.
  5. Why do I see crystals in my stevia? Is it safe to use? Crystallization is a natural phenomenon that can occur in stevia extracts, especially in liquid forms. It's a sign of purity and concentration, and it's perfectly safe to consume. You can easily re-dissolve the crystals by gently shaking or warming the bottle.
